Several reservoirs across Malta are currently undergoing cleaning and maintenance work by the Department of Public. These works are carried out during the summer months to ensure the reservoirs are ready to collect rainwater in winter, and can therefore be used by neighbouring farmers. During a visit to the San Klement reservoir in Żejtun, Minister Chris Bonett and Parliamentary Secretary Omar Farrugia spoke about the importance of sustainable infrastructure and using water responsibly. The reservoir, which holds around 2,500 cubic metres of water, is being cleared of mud and debris, and its walls are being prepped for a new waterproof coating to prevent leaks.
